Environmental Water Allocation
From the Editor
Well, a new 'look' to end 2005 and bring in 2006. As you can see, we have mixed the old with the new to create a new RipRap for you to enjoy. This edition of RipRap is on environmental water allocation, a topic that is at the forefront of people's minds as economic, environmental and social demands for water are being made in every region of Australia. The articles featured here show the scope and breadth of work being undertaken across the country, with the new Land & Water Australia Environmental Water Allocation Program now underway with six new projects, as well as work at CSIRO Land & Water and the Murray-Darling Basin Commission also being featured. 'It's a Wrap' provides a snapshot of projects across the states and territories and demonstrates the significance of this issue to rural and urban communities across Australia.
I hope you enjoy this edition of RipRap, our biggest one ever at 52 pages! I would also like to thank you for your continued support of RipRap, we value your interest and hope that we can continue to provide you with a useful source of information and inspiration for the work you do.
